If on an item a shop gives 25% discount, they earn 25%
profit. If they now give 10% discount then what is the
profit percentage.

Answer Posted / sachin kumar

Let written price = $100
Discount = 25% of 100 = $25
Selling price = $100 - $25 = $75

Discount = 10% of $100 = $10
Selling price = $100 - $10 = $90

Selling price $75 gives 25% profit
Therefore selling price $90 gives
25/75 * 90 = 30% profit
